You’ve summed it up, here; so simply. The Matrix is a mind-hack, & to the extent we have minds, they’ve been hacked.

A necessary acceptance of this is missing in so many of us. If we’re not seeing it, how can we accept it? Ego-mind is so toxically over-confident in itself, blind to the Divine Intelligence everywhere present.

Yes, our minds can be manipulated — but not Heart, not soul/consciousness/Inner Being. On expanding our self-definition beyond the body-mind, we enter the wider realm more native to us, leaving our limitations in the dust.

It’s funny that we’re already Perfect; not as a body-mind, but as our Source-in-form beingness. That One requires no perfecting. Perhaps we’re really here for the show, for the InJoyMe-n[e]t of it. 😆
